Reminder: Voting is not a Right in America

"bu-but Canada and free speech!"

You mean in Canada where they don't even vote for their own senators? Where their senators get appointed by the Prime Minister? Oh yeah, Canada reaaaally has us beat kek.

Or in Europe where people in nations in the EU have to live under laws passed by people they didn't even vote for? Oh yeaaah Kbro, America is the shittiest place in the west kek.

Damn. Unfortunate that democratic participation is less direct, but at least they understand that democratic participation is a right.

What a bullish!t comparison. Obviously, in a union of separate countries, a single country's voters don't get to decide everything. The countries in the EU decided they'd work closer together than say America does and hence they can't only act in their self-interest. If the country's people wanted to, they could elect leaders who would decide to leave.

However in America, the will of the people prevailing isn't assured. Because now states are allowed to enact policy based on who they want voting, not to mention that certain states have a disproportionate level of voting power that allows the minority to get they want over the majority.

But per 538, at least gerrymandering might be put in the trash compactor. So we are a bit closer to being the ideal of a republic politicians will tell you we are.

Rocky, is there a country you would rather live in? I am just curious.

Now do you have an issue with legislators being allowed to decide who is worthy of the privilege of voting or not?

Okay, I expect an answer like that from most and it makes sense. I guess I should rephrase the question. Is there another country you think your life would be better in? Let us say you would have family or friends or whatever attachments hold you here, in the other country.

As for your question about voting, I will say I have no issue with things like...criminals not being allowed to vote. Other than that I think let people vote if they are citizens and the correct age and have ID.

Oh I am sure He will change his opinion of the U.S once there is a Regime Change.

AKA he is a Hypocrite.

I admit we do have things in this country in dire need of change. Though I do wonder where people think they'd have it better than here.

All this "Murica Hate" is all really just a long term plan that the Left has had in motion for nearly 60 years now. They HATE Western Civilization and want to replace it with their own Fascist / Socialist "Utopian" Society. They just know they can't do it by Force. That is why they have been doing it like a Cancer.
For proof of that just look at the state of our educational system in the U.S.

The sticking point would be American culture which, due to my middle class baclground, I've been able to fully enjoy and is really important to me. The music, sports, movies, animation, and comics are all stuff I really enjoy. I also like the wide variety of food we have.

That said, soccer is a really important part of my life an I'd likely get to play it more in certain countries.

I'd probabally choose America but for someone less fortunate than me, the answer could very well be a different one. For those born in absolute poverty here for example, they'd likely be better off in other countries with better social mobility.

Not sure. Free college and health care would be nice, but due to my upper middle class sicio economic background, and the forune I've had to recieve a good high school education, not really neccesary. I''m not sure if the mental health facilities in other countries are better and that may be useful down the line due to my OCD.

I noticed you still didn't answer his question. And you answered it with a Amero-centric answer about food which is just ignorant. Get out more. Hell, go to France. Go to Mexico. Go to the anywhere in the UK. Somewhere but here and eat other foods.

Let me guess, you haven't been to another country.

Stop dodging the question: answer it. Which country and for what reasons? crylaugh

You seem to have missed:

Guessed wrong, though I'm sure you'll presume to know more about my life than I do. Though you should really save the inferences for once you've learned to read what's explicitly said.

"bu-but Canada and free speech!"

Can you sum that up? Are some assclowns really trying to dictate which US citizens can and can not vote?

Are we done double d?

I was correct. You haven't been out the US. And you still didn't answer his question. Your claims of having been outside the US are clearly lies.

Nice Amero-Centric perspective. You hate the US and think other countries are doing better, just as the criticism levied against you states (pun intended). But, yet, you refuse to get out of the US.

Typical America hating libtard. 😐

That is how the Unintelligent Leftist tends to react.

But keep deflecting 👆

I love when people shower compliments on other countries healthcare/welfare systems etc. despite having no knowledge of them.

You see a post where double d baselessly asserts I'm lying and dodges my points via ad hominem, and your response is to encourage him.

While you may be more knowledgeable about foreign affairs than I am, your post here is something I'd expect from a grade schooler.

If you're done perpetuating this deflectionary tangent, maybe you can actually say something relevant to the op?

This isn't a new development by the way, this happened several years ago. But no one in are country seems to care that politicians can now decide who can or can't vote. "For the people and by the people" has become "for the people by the people elected representatives want voting".

And off course Double D and Darth Skywalker's response is to deflect by focusing on my life which Double D presumes he can tell me about with certainty.

If you say so

I neither said I hated or America and gave a detailed explanation for why I would stay. Your repeated inability to address what I actually tells me you don't actually have a counter present.

But keep deflecting 👆

As usual, all you have here is ad hominem.

Boy, you got me. You're right about everything!

Hard to take any article seriously from a site that also that has a headline like "Are private schools immoral"'. or even worse "The Last Jedi: Best Star Wars movie since 1980?" 😂
